Bioremodeling

What’s involved in a dermal filler treatment?

At OZDERM CLINIC Manly, we apply a topical anesthetic 20 minutes before the treatment, to ensure the procedure is pain-free. Dermal filler injections are then administered through injections/ cannula just below the skin’s surface, rejuvenating the area and adding desired volume.

The results of dermal filler treatments can last between 6 to 18  months, depending on the product used, skin type, lifestyle, and beauty regime. The HA injected through dermal fillers will gradually disappear safely and unnoticed from the body.

Aftercare

Immediately after treatment with dermal filler, there may be swelling, tenderness or slight redness in the injected area. These reactions are normal and should subside in a few days.

• Apply a cold compress to the treated area once or twice on the day of treatment (do not apply ice directly to skin, use a clean paper towel or gauze)
• Avoid strenuous exercise/activities for 24 hours
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours post treatment
• Do not use AHAs, Retinols, Vitamin C therapy or oil based makeup for 24 hours
• Avoid facials, facial waxing, Gylcolic of AHA peels, IPL laser treatment or energy based treatments & microdermabrasion for two weeks post treatment.
• Do not expose the treated area to intense heat such as sauna, solarium or excessive sun)
• Avoid pressure on the treated area for the first few nights after treatment (a travel pillow can be used to support the head)
• Do not massage the treated area unless instructed by your physician.
• If you are a patient who has a history of cold sores, it is advised to take Famvir (3 tablets on dosage) which is an over-the-counter anti-viral on the day of your treatment/ immediately after to prevent an outbreak.
